Donald Trump: I Will Force Apple to Manufacture in the U.S.

Share & comment

American billionaire investor and GOP candidate Donald Trump has said during a recent speech at the Liberty University that if he is elected president, he’ll be able to change Apple’s entire manufacturing system (via Gizmodo). “We’re going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries”, Trump said.

“Trump’s remarks on outsourcing at Liberty University today were especially bizarre and unanchored to reality.

First, in the span of a few sentences, he insisted that he’d impose a 35 percent tax on businesses producing goods overseas while claiming to support free trade. At the end of his rambling, decidedly non-MLK-themed speech, he shouted the impossible nonsense”.

Apple currently only assembles its Mac Pro in the US at a factory in Austin, TX. Everything else is however manufactured in Asia. Trump believes an all-American Apple would create jobs and would help ensure that the factory workers have decent working conditions. However, it’s also an empty applause line since the US president cannot ban any company from outsourcing, nor can he overhaul the global economy.

Won’t happen. Puling U.S. manufacturing out of China would seriously damage their economy which would cause a global financial crisis. It’s because of China’s downturn that we’ve had stock markets falling in January.

Trump can make all the promises he wants. Sure, have the phone made in USA except it will probably cost $3k each. Why just Apple, he should demand all goods sold in the USA to be made in the USA..lol

How? Subsidizing Apple the difference between a Chinese worker and an American worker? Oy. He’ll say anything to get elected.

He says stuff like this all the time, and none of it is real. His supporters eat it up, anyhow. They believe because they want to believe he’s real and can do these things, not because what he says makes sense.
